\u201cIf you have a vision for yourself, go for it.\u201d When Maxwell VanHook told me that before our interview, I knew that he was about to drop some serious knowledge. And he did not disappoint!\n\nWe started off in an interesting place \u2014 the home \u2014 and he talked about how newlywed life and how he\u2019s been re-evaluating the concept of work and code switching in this current age. He also shared a bit about his work as an associate creative director for Amazon Devices, and his role as co-host of the weekly IG Live show Designing While Black. For Maxwell, trusting your voice and values has been key to his success\u2026and I definitely agree with that!
